Happy New Year, and welcome to a new year of arch hunting in Kentucky. 

The database now stands at 2450 documented arches, with 2538 documented features (including false arches and windows that are less than 3' openings).  The map is also updated to 888 features.  We also have updated the lead list, which now stands at 225 possible arches or leads.  

All of the Top 10's have been updated (if required) and can be found here.

There has been some big movement in the arch counts for some counties.  Definitely check out the Top 10 Counties as there has been some movement among them.  McCreary now has over 300 arches in the database, making it the 4th county in the state to boast that many arches within it.  Menifee lost a few arches due to them being false arches, and it dropped just under 200 known arches.  Meanwhile, Edmonson jumped to over 200 known arches, placing it 5th on our list.

The database now stands at 2295 documented arches, with 2371 documented features (including false arches).  The map is also updated to 768 features.  We also have updated the lead list, which now stands at 220 possible arches or leads.  Big shoutout to Bill Fultz for all his work as well as Mike Hoffman & Dustin Robinson for their submissions and exploration.

All of the Top 10's have been updated (if required) and can be found here.  There has been movement in the Top 10 Counties as Dustin Robinson found a slew in Pulaski County to rocket that county into the Top 10, passing a few counties on the way.

As always, thanks to the endless work of Bill Fultz on the database and the numerous submissions from Mike Hoffman, the database is updated and now stands at 2209 documented arches, with 2285 documented features (including false arches).  There were some really nice arches in this submission.  There are some special places, still waiting to be documented out there!  Go explore!!!  The map is also updated to 706 features.  We also have updated the lead list, which now stands at 256 possible arches or leads.

If you are interested in the arches of the Red River Gorge area, please see Bill Patrick's DVD's.  He just released DVD 10 this summer.  It includes 100 new arches for you to venture to and see for yourself in the Red River Gorge Area.
